Lead Performance: Ron Sexsmith
A
David Browne
David Browne is EW's music critic and author of ''Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley'' (HarperCollins)
Sexsmith doesn't sound any more optimistic about the future than he did on his two previous albums; he may be the only singer-songwriter who can make a line like ''Where there's still hope, there's still time'' seem anything but hopeful. Producers Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake do a wonderfully understated job of colorizing Sexsmith's sad-kid melodies and voice, adding an R&B groove to ''Right About Now'' and a swirling orchestra to ''Beautiful View.'' Call it buoyant sorrow.
